Fourth Wing and Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros: The Complete Dragon Rider Combo Every Romantasy Fan Needs

About the Books

The Fourth Wing and Iron Flame combo pack gives you the complete first half of Rebecca Yarros’s addictive Empyrean series in one set. Together, these two paperbacks take you deep into the world of Basgiath War College, where dragon riders are forged through fire, loss, and dangerous love.

From the Back Cover

Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders. In this world, you either bond with a dragon or you die trying. And for Violet Sorrengail, every single day is a fight she was never supposed to win.

What is in This Combo Pack?

Book 1: Fourth Wing

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general, also known as her tough-as-talons mother, has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter, like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda, because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

Book 2: Iron Flame

Experience heart-pounding romance and high-stakes fantasy as Violet faces brutal challenges at dragon rider college. Surviving the first year was supposed to be the hard part. But in Iron Flame, the secrets Violet uncovered in Fourth Wing are only the beginning.

Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College, and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.
